Quantity of foundation excavation works in (m), with re-laying of crushed stone of average depth 12 cm 2. Quantity of wood shuttering framework of the footing / foundation in (m) 3. Quantity of laying or paving of crushed stone works in (m) of average depth 12 cm 4. Quantity of steel rebars in (ton) 5. Quantity of pouring batched-premixed concrete in (m) of grade M15 for casting foundation of the wall including (key, toe and heel) of the base footing Typical design-drawing of reinforced concrete retaining wall (cantilever wall) This type of retaining wall is suitable and more economic for H from (4 to 8 ) m, while counterforts used for greater heights Should be taking in the consideration all specifications and requirements for constructing and set upping (vertical expansion joints and drain weep holes or tile drains with crushed stone filtering) of the wall Stem or Arm Bottom/lower filling or N.G.
